Glass micro and nano smithing of devices and sensors for extreme environments

这项应用将阐明、优化和应用亚微米级玻璃加工的艺术、科学和技术，以开发一系列光纤、波导和玻璃设备，包括传感器、激光、二维和三维组件以及掩膜，用于在恶劣和极端环境中运行，特别是在1000摄氏度以上的环境。光学光谱的变化、结构松弛和粘性流动之间的联系被用来在至关重要的工业1000至1200摄氏度窗口中优化玻璃技术的热阻和光学阻力。基础和器件研究将表明，再生是目前使光子技术能够在如此恶劣的环境中运行的唯一方法。

This application will elucidate, optimise and apply the art, science and technology of glass processing on a sub-micron scale to develop a range of optical fibre, waveguide and glass devices including sensors, lasers, two and three-dimensional components and masks for operation in harsh and extreme environments, particularly those operating above 1000 degrees celsius. A connection between changes in optical spectra, structural relaxation and viscous flow is used to optimise the thermal and optical resistance of glass technologies in the all-critical industrial 1000 to 1200 degrees celsius window. Fundamental and device studies will show that regeneration is the only current approach that will enable photonic technologies to operate in such harsh environments.
